Where stays the coward?

Hyp. Nay, he is no coward;

A villain, if thou will, but not a coward.

I’ve seen him play with swords: it is his pastime.

And therefore be not over-confident,

He’ll task thy skill anon. Look, here he comes.

(Enter Lara, followed by Francisco.)

Lara. Good evening, gentlemen.

Hyp. Good evening, count.
